Vulnerability description

DayBreach CVE AI Research

CVE-2024-12084 has vendor, distribution, patch and security-source records on file. We can compare them and prepare an explanation linked to the evidence.

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the rsync daemon. This issue is due to improper handling of attacker-controlled checksum lengths (s2length) in the code. When MAX_DIGEST_LEN exceeds the fixed SUM_LENGTH (16 bytes), an attacker can write out of bounds in the sum2 buffer.
